  • "The portion wasn’t large and the price was a bit high for me (even the lunch menu which was cheaper)."
  • "It’s called the 'wee taste of Scotland', so I suppose it comes as advertised (the 'wee' bit at least) because we all had to eat a second dinner after this one, despite paying over £100 each."
  • "Portions served are very tiny amount of food."
  • "Slightly smaller portions than I would have liked."
